Careers

Acunetix is a dynamic software company founded to develop a cutting-edge tool designed with security professionals in mind, to help them secure their websites and web applications from design flaws and hackers. Unlike network security solutions, Acunetix scans websites and web applications by replicating a hacker’s approach to detect vulnerabilities heuristically instead of based on fixed signatures.

Our culture is built around a fun and professional environment and we are always on the lookout for driven and hard-working individuals. Any open positions will be advertized on this page, so keep checking back regularly if there isn’t a position that matches your skills.
